This article is pretty interesting, although they haven't calculated 2009 yet.
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Rich are moving. This will hurt the tax base of states where they're moving from, and help the states where they end up. Even after adjusting for property taxes, Texas is #4 and Florida is #8. You should be able to figure out which states are suffering (read:liberal wackos!)
The tax the rich strategy doesn't work in states evidently.
My storage facility I bought is 4 miles from #1 rated county in the country. Pretty cool! TX and FL are smoking the competition.
I guess the plot of this story is,,,,,,,,,You just have to follow the Rich! Rich

Dear Government:

You can't tax your way out of the problem.
